Netflix seeks an experienced entertainment attorney to join the Kids & Family Business & Legal Affairs team, focused primarily on unscripted live-action content for kids and families. This role will support development, production, and licensing/acquisition of a wide range of global formats and franchises — from game, competition, and prank series to live, lifestyle, hybrid, and Creator-driven unscripted formats that are entertaining, and age-appropriate.

You will be the primary BA contact for a slate of Kids & Family unscripted productions and will:

* Negotiate and structure all manner of original and licensed programming agreements for unscripted live-action Kids & Family content, including:

* Production services agreements and format licenses

* Above-the-line talent deals (e.g., hosts, on-camera talent, showrunners, executive producers, directors)

* Rights and licensing/acquisition deals (e.g., underlying IP and format rights for kids & family, and ancillary rights where applicable)

* Creator agreements

* Draft and negotiate agreements for all of the above, with a deep understanding of:

* Unscripted and format dealmaking, including ATL, BTL, and associated production legal agreements

* Nonfiction deal structures and IP

* Kids & family-specific considerations, including compliance, safety, and global policies around minors and families.

* Oversee projects throughout the full lifecycle — from early-stage concept and format development through casting, production, post-production, and global launch on Netflix — identifying and navigating:

* Issues unique to minors and families (e.g., child labor, permits, on-set welfare, releases, privacy, and consent)

* Guild and union matters where applicable

* Rights, clearances, third-party materials, and brand-related considerations

* Practical production issues that arise in fast-moving, unscripted environments

* Serve as a strategic partner to help manage a robust Kids & Family slate of:

* Unscripted live-action series, specials, and events

* Creator-led formats

* Hybrid and innovative formats that blend live action with other mediums, where appropriate for kids & family

You will collaborate closely with internal business partners (e.g., Kids & Family Content and Creative, Consumer Products, Games, and Marketing) and cross-functional teams (e.g., Production, IP, Employment, Labor, Tax, and Safety) as well as key partners (e.g., Finance, Contract Administration, Legal Operations). You will be expected to own deals end-to-end, help execute strategy, and ensure clear communication and alignment across stakeholders.

This role requires fluency in traditional business & legal affairs issues along with genuine comfort in ambiguous and evolving spaces, including new formats designed for kids and families. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment with significant volume, can manage multiple high-profile projects simultaneously, works well under tight deadlines, and remains calm, collaborative, and solution-oriented.

While the role primarily supports productions based in UCAN, experience with international unscripted and live-action productions, including co-productions or local-language formats, is highly valued.

The successful candidate will have at least 7-10 years of entertainment business affairs and legal experience at a streamer, network, studio, or production
